FCC To Enforce Do Not Call List, Not FTC

Posted by simoniker on from the welcome-to-acronym-city dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "The Associated Press is reporting that the Federal Communications Commission will step in and enforce the national Do Not Call list for the Federal Trade Commission. The FCC is coming to the aid of the FTC because of the recent lawsuit filed against the FTC over the list."

    I got so tired of marketing calls that I no longer answer my phone at all. Only time I use it is to call out. In fact I disconnect my phone line on occasion in the evening. I have an answering machine that automatically picks up on the 1st ring and that I occasionally listen to. More often than not I just erase its entire contents without listening. This has spread to my mail and email. I only look at my mail at 1-3 month intervals now. I pay my bills online so rarely look at snail mail and shred most of it without looking. Similarly with email.
